Im not suggesting any problems achieving focus, but you're forced to use the crummy plastic adapter which sticks up high from the focuser.

On GSO scopes you get a much lower profile 1.25" adapter with compression ring and the whole setup is much more solid and a fine focus option is available.

Dave got the best of both worlds by fitting a gso dual speed to his, but it required a raising adapter to be machined to lift the focuser to match the focal plane height. I would follow this path rather than buy a lightbridge.
